O Instituto Ayrton Senna na educação pública de maceió: as parcerias público-privadas no volante da política pública educacional

Abstract

The research has as object of study the relation by the public-private partnerships between the Ayrton Senna Institute (IAS) and the Municipal Department of Education in Maceió-AL (SEMED). The Ayrton Senna Institute participates in 5 programs in partnership with SEMED: Se Liga, Acelera Brasil, Gestão nota 10 (GN10), Fórmula da Vitória, Gestão e Política da Alfabetização (GPA). These programs are present in the management and the teaching-learning of public education in Maceió-AL. Given the expansive and notorious performance of the IAS in the public school system of Maceió, the following problem is raised: What are the main changes in the management of educational policy on the municipal public school system in Maceió-AL resulting from the partnerships between IAS and SEMED? The general purpose of this research is to understand the historical, political and educational dimensions between the Ayrton Senna Institute and the municipal public school system in Maceió-AL. This is an explanatory research (GIL, 2008) which adopts a qualitative approach (ALVES-MAZZOTTI; GEWANDSZNAJDER, 2000) guided by the dialectical and historical materialist approach (MASSON, 2012) in the search for real apprehension from its contradictions and relations between singularity, particularity and universality. Therefore, the research includes some bibliographic texts reviews aiming to rescue the historical and conceptual meanings of the object. Consequently, documentary analysis of basic material for the partnership was carried out, collected on the official websites of the Municipal Department of Education (SEMED) and the Ayrton Senna Institute (IAS), in the official journals published between 2015 and 2019, as well as on-site investigations. Complementarily, a representative from each institution was interviewed in order to capture his impressions about the implementation of the programs.The texts and documents analysis was based on the methodology of analysis of educational policy documents suggested by Shiroma, Campos and Garcia (2005) and the content analysis method (BARDIN, 1977). The purpose of the research is to increase the critical understanding of the possible influences that the public-private partnership between these two entities can promote in public education of Maceió as well as the expansion in the production of knowledge about the public-private partnerships by IAS, contributing to the action of those responsible for the formulation, implementation and evaluation of educational public policies throughout the national territory and in Maceió-AL.
